Phys.org / Earliest, hottest galaxy cluster gas on record challenges cosmological models
An international team of astronomers led by Canadian researchers has found something the universe wasn't supposed to have: a galaxy cluster blazing with hot gas just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang, far earlier and hotter ...
Medical Xpress / AI uncovers two distinct multiple sclerosis types
Artificial intelligence (AI), using a simple blood test combined with standard brain images has, for the first time, been able to identify two biologically distinct types of multiple sclerosis (MS), in research led by UCL ...
Phys.org / Versatile mechanophore detects structural damage without false alarms from heat or UV
A newly designed robust mechanophore provides early warning against mechanical failure while resisting heat and UV, report researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo. They combined computational chemistry techniques with ...
Medical Xpress / Proximity matters: Claudin-1 as an unexpected guardian of central tolerance
Scientists from the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the Faculty of Science at Charles University, have uncovered a completely new role for the protein Claudin-1 in the ...
Medical Xpress / Remote Alzheimer's testing: At-home blood tests can accurately detect key biomarkers
A new international study has demonstrated that Alzheimer's disease biomarkers can be accurately detected using simple finger-prick blood samples that can be collected at home and mailed to laboratories without refrigeration ...
Phys.org / Survey across 153 countries links the effects of LGBT-phobia and economic insecurity
LGBTQ+ people face unequal treatment across different human societies. Several concomitant factors can contribute to this discrimination at various levels of society, resulting in diminished living conditions. In a study ...
Medical Xpress / Protein disposal system may accelerate Alzheimer's by transferring toxins between brain cells
A research group led by Professor Michael Glickman, dean of Technion's Faculty of Biology, has uncovered a key mechanism in the development of Alzheimer's. The mechanism in question identifies toxic proteins and disposes ...
Phys.org / Discoveries rewrite how some minerals form and dissolve
Two related discoveries detailing nanocrystalline mineral formation and dynamics have broad implications for managing nuclear waste, predicting soil weathering, designing advanced bioproducts and materials and optimizing ...
Medical Xpress / How the last two respiratory pandemics rapidly spread through cities: Simulations highlight air travel as key driver
Public health researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health used computer modeling to reconstruct how the 2009 H1N1 flu pandemic and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic unfolded in the U.S. The findings highlight ...
Phys.org / Gender stereotypes reflect the division of labor between women and men across nations
Researchers at Northwestern University and the University of Bern in Switzerland have conducted the first cross-temporal, multinational study to compare views of gender using data collected 30 years apart.
Phys.org / AI approach takes optical system design from months to milliseconds
A team of researchers at Penn State have devised a new, streamlined approach to designing metasurfaces, a class of engineered materials that can manipulate light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation with just their ...
Medical Xpress / Elective C-sections linked to lower childhood cortisol
For years, researchers have documented health differences between babies born vaginally versus by cesarean section—work that revealed the importance of exposure to the vaginal microbiome during birth. But a new Dartmouth-led ...
